Surely Brighton cancelled his contract in time otherwise it wouldn’t have happened.Callumcafc said:
The loophole was that his contract was cancelled after the deadline for Championship but before the deadline for L1/L2. The EFL rules didn't close that loophole so he was able to sign after our window had closed.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Revealed: How a loophole in the EFL rules allowed Hemed to join Charlton, 11 days after the window shutBrighton saved former striker Tomer Hemed from months of misery by agreeing to cancel his contract, allowing the Israel international to join Charlton 11 days after the transfer window closed.
The Athletic can now reveal the reasons behind the official confirmation of Hemed’s transfer being delayed until August 19.
Brighton originally intended to reach a settlement with Hemed over the year remaining on his contract in order to facilitate his switch to Championship side Charlton. But the transfer window closed at 5pm on Thursday August 8, without confirmation from either club that the move had gone through.
Charlton were in dispute with the EFL over whether all the necessary paperwork had been completed by the five o’clock cut-off. The matter was referred to the EFL Board, who rejected the transfer.
Hemed, 32, was left in limbo, still training with Brighton but knowing he was not in the plans of head coach Graham Potter and fearing he would be stranded on the south coast until January. But a paragraph in the small print of the EFL regulations allowed his move to be resurrected.
Brighton agreed to cancel Hemed’s contract, enabling him to be classified as a player “out of registration”. League regulations state that registration has to expire or have been cancelled “at any time prior to the end of a Transfer Window”. In the case of the summer transfer window, however, the “applicable end date is that applied to clubs in Leagues One and Two”.
In May, EFL clubs voted in favour of a proposal to introduce different transfer deadlines for Championship clubs compared to League One and League Two. The Championship deadline became aligned to that of the Premier League (August 8) but League One and League Two clubs can carry on doing business until August 31.
The August 31 deadline get-out is what enabled Hemed to be reunited in south-east London with compatriot and former Brighton team-mate Beram Kayal on a one-year contract. Midfielder Kayal joined Charlton on deadline day on a season-long loan.
Hemed’s case emphasises the perils of transfer deals going to the wire at the end of the window, with Brighton victims themselves twice in two years.
In August 2014, Republic of Ireland left back Stephen Ward was poised to sign permanently following a loan move from Wolves the previous season. He did a U-turn and joined Burnley instead.
In August 2016, Brighton’s bid for Tottenham’s Alex Pritchard was hijacked at the eleventh hour by then-Championship rivals Norwich.
Terms had been agreed with Spurs, the player and his agent. Pritchard was travelling south to sign when he was delayed in traffic on the M25 and Norwich jumped in.
If the rule is there in the small print, then it's a 1 minute job to read the rule, check his contract was cancelled in time and go "oh yes he can be transferred"
I thought the question was whether we had signed him in time? Since he was a free agent released before the window closed it didn’t matter.0 -

I thought the question was whether we had signed him in time? Since he was a free agent released before the window closed it didn’t matter.Well if he was released before the deadline we could sign him at any time with no issue and there wouldn't be a hold up.The article actually states that the EFL rejected the transfer as taking place after deadline and then goes on to infer that Brighton released him after the PL/Champ deadline but before the Aug 31 deadline (obviously) for L1/L2."Brighton originally intended to reach a settlement with Hemed over the year remaining on his contract in order to facilitate his switch to Championship side Charlton.

Disappointed today that Lyle was left upfront today occupying CBs, when he was out on his feet. Hemed would have given them much more trouble. Well versed in the dark arts.0

Kermogant knew how to leave a mark on his centre half and get away with it. I've missed having a striker with a real mean streak.1 - Sponsored links:

Apparently it had to be referred to the EFL's board of directors for ratification after it had been passed down to them by the FA.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Amazing clearance off the line at the death....no idea how he ended up as last man3

Was certainly wondering where he was at times towards the end as you had Taylor up front on his own when chasing the ballnewyorkaddick said:Amazing clearance off the line at the death....no idea how he ended up as last man
Certainly good to have a player like Hemed who doesnt have the attitude of a striker who stays up front and doesnt do anything else1 -
That might be even better than Lockyer's tackle against Forest! Properly amazing stuff, especially from a striker2

I should imagine Taylor was told to stay there! Need an outlet if you’re defending deep.ForeverAddickted said:

he’s normally chasing back.
litterally out on his feet at the end0 -
If we go 2 up top with Taylor and Hemed, defenders are going to hate them. He looks hardworking and rugged.
The more match practice he gets the better.3 -
It would be nice if we could sometimes sub Taylor and use Hemed as the outlet, as otherwise Taylor ends up playing every minute of every gameCafcSCP said:

He reminded me a bit of Yann when he first came on, seemed to fade towards the latter part of the 2nd half but I’m guessing he’s not 100% fit at the moment.4

Not sure, but he hasn’t played a competitive match since May so will be lacking match fitness.SoundAsa£ said:

Plus a new baby so won't be at 100% energy/concentration levels - not a dig at his professionalism but I'm sure other lifers can back me up in saying so!1

Said the same thing on Saturday. He holds himself in a similar way and can see him dropping off the centre backs into a nice little space. Defenders won’t know whether to go with him which will create space for others to get in behind, or let him go, which will allow him to do something like spreading the ball out wide after technically having great close control and purposeful pass, wait for the cross to come in by timing his run to perfection, boom! Goal.se9addick said:He reminded me a bit of Yann when he first came on, seemed to fade towards the latter part of the 2nd half but I’m guessing he’s not 100% fit at the moment.
I can see this being a fantastic signing.1 -

I wish people would stop saying he’s going in the January window like it’s nailed on.............we don’t know that for sure.Halix said:

Yes, there’s a distinct possibility he might go but people were saying that he was on his way a few weeks back and look what happened.
If we are well placed in January and he has been playing well, I can see him somehow or another staying.....I’d say it’s 50/50.....as I said, depending upon where we are come the window.0 -
Could he do an Aribo and get an injury that keeps him out for just over a month just before the window opens?
Stroke of luck we get to keep him till the end of the season?0 -
Even if we are not well placed, he could decide to just see out his contract and pocket (for example) a 2 million signing on fee, instead of Roland getting it as a transfer fee.SoundAsa£ said:

This is what I said earlier. a) a bidding war could break out over a free scoring CF and the price, and therefore his wages, goes through the roof, b) he turns down all offers so he can get a big signing on fee, c) we refuse to sell. d) he does not want to go as we are in with a shout for the Premiership, and (best result all round), we get a new owner and signs a new contract with us.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Just enjoy the journey. It is what it is 🤗1 -
We have no chance of a new owner, especially if we an outside chance of a play off spot. Even mid table will put 20 mil on the price in Roland's world.
But agreed, just enjoy it and let's keep surprising people!0
